Is it too late to defer admission? It sounds like you should take (at least) a year off and decide. Law school is a huge commitment (both time and money) and I wouldn't want to take it on without being sure.

As Jan says, law school is a tremendous investment of time, energy, and money. And I believe we've all heard that it is one of the more difficult things you can do with three years of your life - the first of the three especially. If you're having doubts, then you put yourself at even greater risk of underperforming. Depending on how studious and/or naturally gifted you are, that could mean anything from minor adversity to disaster. So I'm with Jan; I would call your Dean of Admissions on Monday morning and inquire about a deferral. If it's possible, give serious thought to deferring, and taking some time to have fun and to explore other options.

I would definitely look into deferring, but this late in the game, I wouldnt' get your hopes up for it. It seems that if you ask early on (mid june at the lastest) schools will generally grand a deferral. But you're talking two weeks before classes, all becuase you're just not sure now. That means the school will have to scramble and try to fill your spot off their waitlist (if they even have a waitlist still going) and there's a good chance that your seat will just go empty.

If you can't get a deferral, i'd say you should still go, and give it a shot. If, after a semester you decide you hate it, then leave. I mean, you could just be having cold feet, and if you don't go, you'll never know.

I have debated whether or not I should go for weeks now. I probably will even more as it gets closer. But like Jacy suggests, if you don't go, you may always wonder "what if" and regret that decision. At least give it one or two semesters. You may love it and know it is absolutely where you belong, right?

Yeah I'm scared too. I just received my orientation packet today in the mail and it has finally hit me: I am going to law school. Needless to say I'm getting nervous. But of course, if I wasn't getting nervous I would be a freak.
